Consumer Prices Up Slightly in October
Washington data show consumer prices rose three tenths of a per cent in October, the smallest gain in seven months, as inflation moderates. The CPI stood at 175.3 with a $100 basket costing $173.30 in 1967 terms, while wage purchasing power fell last month. Greenspan cautioned that wholesale prices haven’t yet boosted retail costs and urged fiscal and monetary restraint to sustain the downtrend. The Commerce Department pegged Q3 3.8 per cent annual growth, below earlier 4 per cent estimates.

Economy Still Strong Despite Small Drop in City Income Tax
The Combined Earned Income Tax Committee met at the Corry Motor Inn to review figures for the first three quarters. Revenue totals show a slight decline from last year but not alarming, with $856,765 collected so far and an expected annual total near $1.8 million. Plant layoffs at Corry Jamestown, Melnties Steel, and the Barnes Group are cited as causes. Projections show school and city revenues rising to $140,000 in 1977 from $135,100 in 1976, while payments to other districts rise to about $171,000 from $167,000. Alice Brown was reelected as member at large. The committee will audit its books with Rebert and Keene.
